Creeking down the Upper G

Report

Account A low water run down the Upper G. This was the lowest we had run it and it was a lot of fun. The flat water between rapids was a little tiring, but the rapids were still good to go. The highlights included Pillow, 3rd drop of Lost Paddle, and Sweets. Iron Ring was an amazing site, but none of us were up for rolling the dice. What a different run this was from the release flows. Firstly, the water was released through the tubes at the damn. There were a lot of cool things to see such as the seive at Initiation, catching the eddy in the "room of doom" at Pillow (the crack at the back of the room was stuffed with raft and kayak paddles), and the boulder maze that was the 3rd drop of Lost Paddle.
